Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and big emotions can leave both kids and parents feeling overwhelmed. In this video, a therapist from River North Counseling Group LLC explains how parenting with empathy can help you raise emotionally aware, confident kids who feel safe expressing their needs.
You’ll learn:
• What empathetic parenting really means • How empathy strengthens emotional development • Simple scripts you can use during meltdowns • How to respond when you lose your cool • What empathy looks like for babies, school-age kids, and teens • When extra support may help your family
Empathy is not about giving in. It’s about connection, safety, and teaching your child how to navigate feelings in healthy ways. Small shifts in your tone, words, and presence can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
